About this map

Gavers and the surrounding township lands of Columbiana and Carroll Counties appear here in a landscape defined by the winding waters of the West Fork Little Beaver Creek and Little Yellow Creek. The map documents a deeply etched topography where historical infrastructure remains visible, such as the Sandy-Beaver Canal Tunnel in the northwest and family-named crossings like McClellan Bridge and McKaigs Mill Bridge.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Saint Patricks Cem near Salineville and the Wayne Township Methodist Episcopal Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Highlandtown Wildlife Area Pond and Highlandtown Reservoir, illustrating the transition from traditional agricultural and mining uses, like those near Industrial Mining Lake, toward conservation and water management in the early 21st century.
